"King of Kings" is built upon a series of narrative parallels and contrasts between Jesus and Barrabas. The film portrays the thief as a rebel leader of the Jewish resistance; unlike Jesus, who preaches a message of peace, Barrabas advocates violence as a means to an end. By building his drama around this religious and philosophical conflict, Ray establishes a tension that defamiliarizes this well-known story.
Highlights include the Sermon on the Mount and the scene in which Salome asks King Herod for the head of John the Baptist. A splendid, deeply moving screen biography of Christ. Especially memorable is the portion of the film depicting the "Sermon on the Mount."
Originally a 70mm production, shot in Super Technirama.
A silent version of the life of Christ, also called "King of Kings," was directed by Cecil B. de Mille in 1927. The cast included H.B. Warner (Christ); Jacqueline Logan (Mary Magdalene); Joseph Schildkraut (Judas); Ernest Torrence (Peter); Victor Varconi (Pontius Pilate); Dorothy Cummings (Mary, mother of Jesus); and Rudolph Schildkraut (Caiaphas).

Powerful Epic of the Christ
Samuel Bronston was a superb film maker. His two best were, 'King of Kings' & 'El Cid'. He spared no expense when it came to making movies both entertaining and accurate. His films were the quintessential, powerful epics of the 60's. In fact, I believe Bronston was the Cecil B. De Mille of that decade. No one makes epics of that caliber today and that's so sad. Many films have been made of the story of Jesus, some good and some not so good but 'King of Kings' stands alone and unmatched in it's scope, photography, settings, pace and music. Jeffery Hunter's portrayal of Jesus is staggering. His piercing blue eyes grab a hold of you in such a way, you're left breathless. You feel his kindness, love, compassion, pain & forgiveness unlike any other portrayal of Jesus on film. To parallel the stories of Barrabas and Jesus was a stroke of genius. Most movies just throw Barrabas out there, Pilate says choose, and Jesus is crucified. This film shows why the crowd made their choice the way they did but also emphasizes what a threat Jesus was to the political and religious hierarchy. My only criticism of the film is the mis-casting of Robert Ryan in the role of John the Baptist. Ryan was a very good actor but not in this movie. Set against the powerhouse performances of the rest of the cast, it's easy to see how Ryan's portrayal gets lost. Do yourself a favor. If you've never seen it, don't let it slip by. If you have, it will enhance your collection tenfold.

King Of Kings video
 $7.99  
Despite their crucial involvement in the development of thrash metal, by 1987 San Francisco's Exodus were playing a desperate game of catch-up. Upstarts Metallica had first stolen their thunder, then their guitarist; and after a yearlong delay that rendered their seminal debut, Bonded by Blood, rather archaic, the group experienced a tumultuous lineup change with the departure of founding vocalist Paul Baloff and the arrival of ex-Testament singer Steve Souza. By and large, the throat-shredding vocal styles of both frontmen were pretty much interchangeable, but the difference in songwriting quality between the aforementioned Bonded by Blood and its dismal successor, Pleasures of the Flesh, was quite astounding. Truth is, except for the rather memorable title track, the record simply fails to deliver the goods, seeming almost like an evolutionary step backward. Opener "Deranged" started an irritating tradition of inane spoken word intros, and most of the album's tracks amount to little more than a collection of frenetic riffs bundled together in haphazard fashion. "30 Seconds" is -- you guessed it -- a pointless 30-second burst of classical guitar that has no place on this or any other album, and it's downhill from there. A very disappointing ...

King Of Kings film
$7.99  
After years struggling for recognition while watching their peers achieve fame and fortune, Bay Area mainstays Exodus had every reason to be dejected when they re-grouped in 1989 to record their third album Fabulous Disaster. Still, they went on to create their most diverse and carefully conceived effort yet, while remaining faithful to their no-frills thrash ethic. But while the album represented the realization of their vision, as well as their commercial peak, it still failed to gain them their well-deserved place alongside such thrash metal giants as Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer. After a random spoken word intro, opener "The Last Act of Defiance" quickly sets the frenzied pace, taken a step further by the title track's highly amusing apocalyptic vision. Both songs also showcase the amazingly fast feet and incomparable fills of Tom Hunting -- the only human capable of challenging Slayer's Dave Lombardo for bragging rights as thrash metal's greatest drummer. Up next, "The Toxic Waltz" provides a fresh take on the band's mosh classic "A Lesson in Violence," and the more complex "Cajun Hell" also succeeds despite its silly lyrics. Significantly ...
